« Light truck consumers have new demands and desires for their vehicles compared to previous generations, and Michelin is answering the call by upgrading the LTX tire line, » said Debora Junca, senior brand director for Michelin North America, Inc. « Creating new products like the Defender LTX Platinum and Defender LTX M/S2 tires delivers on our promise of longevity without compromise by being the leader in mileage. When a consumer sees the LTX name, they can trust in the performance over the life of the tire. »
Continuing the LTX legacy as one of the premier light truck tires in the market, the Defender LTX M/S2 tire uses the updated Evertread 2.0 compound to provide the best treadwear performance with excellent wet and snow grip throughout the life of the tire. Showcasing a 115,000 km warranty for Euro-Metric sizes and an 80,000 km warranty for LT-Metric, the Defender LTX M/S2 tire will have 53 sizes providing coverage on all 2013 or newer pickups and traditional SUVs.
